What Prescot Bush and other companies did in the forties is no different than what today's companies have been doing, especially since 1993, that is, moving to China and other slave labor, less-than-savory nations. We are helping their economies at the expense of our own, at least presently. Hopefully, down the road there is a pay off, providing displaced workers get retrained and educated and the beat goes on......Otherwise, China will be able to kick our butts with our own money.
